Scarborough it is...final answer

I was so on the fence about the color I had chosen for accent walls!
What I really wanted was something more green than blue.  So when I was in Home Depot I grabbed up a colorway swatch that I thought would work better, had the same color density, and just went for it.
This is the first wall to be painted, located in the hallway to the bedrooms. I had always felt like the pasty green didn't look great.  Maybe it was the sheen I disliked so.  Anything would have been an improvement, but I thought why not start with this smallish wall?  If I hate it, it will be easy enough to do over.
Ooooh.
I don't hate it!  And it took maybe 30 minutes of actual painting time. Which is great because I was supposed to be hitting the pause button on painting...
It looks just great with the white walls and trim and it coordinates with the colors in the Pena print nicely.  I feel more confident in proceeding with the other walls that will have this accent color: the wall behind the sofa, the wall over the fireplace, and the stand-alone bookcase nook just outside of the kitchen.  So.  That will be what I am working on this week!
Also I will: *take a gift to a friend
 *go to a chiropractic appointment for my janky shoulder
 *attend a work meeting via Zoom
*participate in a support group via Zoom
*pick up groceries
I'm trying hard not to stretch myself too thin, though.  What are your plans for the week?
Do tell!

I echo what everyone else says about the color, and the print on the color. Love it!

That's a nice colour and the picture looks great there.
It was cooler today. I baked cheese buns. Groceries will have to be bought. All in all a lazy week.
